Trump will pay his respects in Delaware to 6 US service members killed in the Middle East

President Donald Trump is set to pay his respects on Wednesday at a Delaware military base when the remains of six U.S. service members killed in the crash of a refueling aircraft are returned to their families.
It will be the second time since launching the war on Iran on Feb. 28 that the Republican president will attend the solemn military ritual known as a dignified transfer, which he once described as the “toughest thing” he has had to do as commander in chief.
All six crew members of a KC-135 Air Force refueling aircraft were killed last week in a plane crash over friendly territory in western Iraq while supporting operations against Iran. They were from Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Washington state.
The crash brought the U.S. death toll in Operation Epic Fury to at least 13 service members. About 200 U.S. service members have been injured, including 10 severely, the Pentagon has said.
Trump last traveled to Dover Air Force Base on March 7 for the dignified transfer of s..

Trump uses Mother’s Day tribute to rant about ‘open borders,’ Joe Biden and executing drug smugglers

President Donald Trump on Friday used a Rose Garden luncheon held in honor of Mother’s Day to ramble about his paving over of the world famous spot, to bash his predecessor repeatedly and to boast about extrajudicial killings of suspected drug smugglers as he addressed a group of Gold Star moms.

“When Brooke Rollins would get up and start making a magnificent speech, and she'd be standing in mud, and she'd say, ‘I ruined my shoes’ — her speeches..

Companies blame AI for deep job cuts for second month in a row

U.S. companies have named artificial intelligence as the leading driver of job cuts for the second consecutive month, a new analysis has found.
In April, employers announced 83,387 layoffs — a 38 percent increase from March — according to a report released Thursday by Challenger, Gray & Christmas, a global outplacement firm.
AI accounted for 26 percent of those cuts, making it the most frequently cited reason for workforce reductions for a second month. So far this year, 49,135 layoffs have been attributed to AI, ranking it as the third-largest cause of planned job losses overall.
Companies are deepening their reliance on AI with major firms, including Google, Amazon, and Meta, pouring billions into the emerging technology particularly in the construction of large-scale data centers across the nation.
In April, Meta announced it would slash about 10 percent of its workforce, citing increased expenditures on AI. Earlier in the year, chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said: “I think that 2..
